Are your goals Impotent? Or Inspiring?

Motivation can be broadly interpreted, and we can apply different hints and techniques to challenge and motivate ourselves. But sometimes it can be hard to find motivation when you need it. Here are five ways to motivate and improve yourself. 1: Set Big, Lofty Goals That Excite You As humans, we like to find things to be excited about, and this is a great way to get motivation. Choose goals that interest you and will drive you to complete them. However, don’t go so big that you lose motivation. Setting small goals that excite you and you can attain are sure to give you motivation you need to cross those off your to do list. 2: Break Your Goal Down into Smaller Steps With big tasks, it can be difficult to find a way to stay motivated to finish. You can’t do everything at once, and you don’t want the task to feel so overwhelming that you can’t get started. The simplest way to get started is to break what you need to do into smaller steps. Spread it out over a few hours or days until the project is completed. Use this technique by writing the big task down, and then write the smaller steps you need to take to complete below it. Focus on the small task at hand, complete it, cross it off the list, and stay focused until completed. 3: Clean Up and Tidy Your Spaces If your space is messy and hasn’t been cleaned in a while, you can easily lose your motivation. The environment you work in and live in can enhance your motivation. If your workspace is messy, it may impact your focus and reduce your productivity. A clean and tidy workspace may also provide health benefits as well. 4: Work With Friends and Family When you need to motivate yourself, it can be a challenge to set your goals alone. Sharing your goals with friends and family can help identify tasks you might miss, and help you order them for success. Once underway, communicating with them on progress can keep you on track for completion. Another benefit is the good feeling you get sharing your success. 5: Remember Your Successes When you’re not motivated for the next task, it can be difficult to move past that feeling. Remember that all your past successes can help you overcome that feeling and motivate you to move on. Every small win is a success and can motivate you to keep going. With these tips, you’re on your way to improving your motivation and being successful.

Ever get some of your best ideas when you're in the shower? Why is that?  Partially because your brain is on autopilot! Once you've developed a pattern of behaviors your mind recognizes it and builds it into your brain as a shortcut - a habit. This way showering takes very little effort, leaving your mind to be able to wander.  Secondly, because there are fewer distractions!  No cell phones, no text messages, notifications, tv shows, computers - or even CLOTHES to distract us! Often this is the one and only time during our waking hours that we are without distraction to this level.  But how can we create an inspiring atmosphere, where we can find our deepest inspirations, best ideas and stoke our motivation outside the shower?  1. Turn off distractions. You may not even realize what your mind is putting mental energy toward until it is gone. Turn notifications off your phone, or better yet, put it away, or turn it off completely. Get away from your computer. If you can, get away from all clocks, electronics and distracting noises like household appliances. Each of these sounds can be a reminder that it's time to 'get a new filter for the ice maker' or 'almost time to move the wash to the dryer'. 2. Have a Specific Goal in Mind. What do you want to accomplish in this set time? Do you want to get more motivated for your day? Inspired to work on an upcoming goal? Get specific! 3. Write Down Your Thoughts/Plans. When you have to make your thoughts concrete, it forces you to think about them a bit deeper. Journal what you want to accomplish today, tomorrow, this week or this month. Journal about what is currently keeping you from achieving these things and how you can stop that from happening. If you're having trouble getting started on journaling, be sure to keep an eye out for our upcoming Compass Books! We include 30 Journal Prompts in every Motivational Planner to help you sit down, think through the answers to simple and motivating questions, and define for yourself the problems, the solutions and the next steps!

To continue along with a them we started talking about: let's dive a bit deeper into feelings of frustration, jealousy or anger that are inspired by others.  Have you found yourself comparing and getting frustrated lately by magazines, shows, anywhere showcasing the 'ideal'? Or, even with friends or family on social media, or those who are telling you stories, summarizing the highlights of their success.  There are ways these feelings can be used to help you achieve your goals.  Tune in to learn more!  ____________________________________________________________________ Want these podcasts sent straight to your email as daily motivation Mail?

Do you find yourself getting disproportionately jealous, frustrated or angry by someone else's social media feeds or by the picture perfect lifestyles you see represented in media? If so, maybe it's time to look inward to understand why you are reflecting so many emotions outward. So, while on one hand it's a good idea to say 'don't compare to others'! You're human. It's what we do. You're going to do it. But when you do compare, how can do so in a way that is productive and supports reaching your goals? So instead, when you compare....first: Keep in mind that's not the whole story - and that's ok! Keep in mind you probably don't even care to see the whole story, right?! Try to identify the emotions you are feeling. Next identify what underlying issue those feelings are TRULY about. ...Once you have identified the problem, Yo! Let's solve it! Now! Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it. 😉 ____________________________________________________________________ Want these podcasts sent straight to your email as daily motivation Mail?
